Denesh Ramdin and Darren Bravo both scored centuries in a record-breaking third wicket partnership as West Indies crushed Bangladesh in Basseterre, Saint Kitts, on Tuesday to wrap-up a 3-0 one-day series win.

The pair put on 258, a record for a third wicket partnership in a one day internationa, and the joint eighth highest one day partnership of any kind.

West Indies made 338 for seven in their 50 overs with Bangladesh finishing on 247 for eight.

The hosts made a shaky start to be reduced to 12 for two when openers Lendl Simmons and Chris Gayle were both dismissed for six but that gave skipper Ramdin and Bravo more time at the crease.

Ramdin, who has been in fine form in the one-day game since taking over from Darren Sammy as captain, struck 169 from 121 balls, including 11 sixes and eight fours.

Ramdin's score was the joint third highest total made by a West Indies batsman in a one day international, equalling Brian Lara's 169 against Sri Lanka in 1995.

The record ODI score for a West Indian remains Vivian Richards' 189 against England at Old Trafford in 1984.

Left-hander Bravo, who should have been stumped when he was on 10, hit eight sixes of his own in his 124 from 127 balls.
